Very suitable. I do suggest putting one of those exension pieces on the hammer that are made so you can reach it with a scope on it- I find it is easier when you are wearing gloves. I'd add a light sling, and a buttcuff with a cover flap, and call it good. Maybe put light glass on it, but not likely.

Be careful- I've been bit by more Marlin loading gates than by Winchester, but they've never bloodied my thumb yet. I put that mostly up to my own clumsiness.
